Definitions
- the invention relates to amphoteric liposomes which simultaneously comprise positive and negative membrane-bound or membrane-forming charge carriers, and to the use of these liposomes.
- lipids summarizes three classes of natural products that can be isolated from biological membranes: phospholipids, sphingolipids and cholesterol with its derivatives. This also includes synthetically produced substances with similar characteristics.
- the diacylglycerols, dialkylglycerols, 3-amino-1, 2-propanediol esters or ethers or also the N, N-dialkylamines may be mentioned as examples.
- liposomes can be used, among other things, as containers for active ingredients in pharmaceutical preparations. It is desirable to have efficient and stable packaging of the cargo, compatibility with body fluids and a controllable and possibly site-specific release of the content.
- both requirements are difficult to combine: the more stable and denser the packaging, the more difficult it is to release the enclosed active ingredient.
- liposomes have been developed that change their properties in response to an external stimulus.
- Thermosensitive and pH-sensitive liposomes are known.
- the pH-sensitive liposomes are of particular interest because this parameter can also change under physiological circumstances, for example when a liposome is endocytosed in cells or when the gastrointestinal tract is passed.
- pH-sensitive liposomes include in particular cholesterol hemisuccinate (CHEMS).
- Cholesterol hemisuccinate is used in a mixture with phosphatidylethanolamine to produce pH-sensitive liposomes (Tachibana et al. (1998); BBRC 251: 538-544, US4891208).
- Such liposomes can be endocytosed by cells and in this way are able to transport cargo molecules into the interior of cells without violating the integrity of the cellular membrane.
- CHEMS CHEMS anionic character.
- the liposomes thus produced have a negative total charge and are only taken up by cells with little efficiency. Despite the transfer mechanism described above, they are therefore hardly suitable for the introduction of macromolecules into cells.
- cationic liposomes For the transport of active substances into cells (transfection), cationic liposomes are used, which have a surface charge that is as high and constant as possible. The positive total charge of such particles leads to electrostatic attachment to cells and consequently to efficient transport.
- the use of these compounds and the liposomes produced therewith remains limited to applications in vitro or ex vivo, since such positively charged liposomes form uncontrolled aggregates with serum components.
- a disadvantage of the pH-sensitive liposomes available in the prior art is the restriction to very few pK values, mostly that of the carboxy group in the cholesterol hemisuccinate (approx. 4.5).
- Another disadvantage of the connections is the limitation to negative charge carriers. These are not suitable for the efficient binding of nucleic acids and often also not for proteins.
- Cationic liposomes show good binding of nucleic acids and proteins and are able to introduce these active substances into cells. Unfortunately, they cannot be used for in vivo applications.
- liposomal structures which i) allow an efficient inclusion of active substances, ii) can transport these active substances into biological cells, iii) are compatible with use under in vivo conditions iv) are simple and inexpensive to produce.
- amphoteric liposomes which comprise at least one positive and at least one different negative charge carrier, the isoelectric point of the liposomes being between 4 and 8.
- the task is thus solved by producing liposomes with a charge that changes with the pH.
- Liposomal structures with the desired properties arise, for example, when the amount of membrane-forming or membrane-containing ones is at a low pH cationic charge carriers that predominate over the anionic ones, and these relationships are reversed at a higher pH value. This is always the case when the ionizable components have a pKa in the range between 4 and 9. All cationic charge carriers are then more strongly charged when the pH of the medium drops, and all anionic charge carriers lose their charge.
- the membrane-forming or membrane-bound charge carriers have the following general structure of an amphiphile:
- membrane anchors The systems known from nature or their technically modified forms come into question as membrane anchors. These include, in particular, the diacylglycerols, diacylphosphoglycerols (phospholipids) and sterols, but also the dialkylglycerols, the dialkyl or diacyl-1-amino-2, 3-propanediols, long-chain alkyls or acyls with 8 to 25 carbon atoms, spingolipids, ceramides and others more. These membrane anchors are specialist and known in the prior art.
- the charge groups that can be combined with these anchors can be divided into the following 6 groups:
- Molecular fragments as they occur in biological systems e.g. 4-imidazoles (histamine), 2-, 6- or 9-purines (adenines, guanines, adenosines or guanosines), 1-, 2- or -pyrimidines (uraciles, thymines, Cytosines, uridines,
- Nitrogen bases with preferred pKa values also result from single or multiple substitution of the nitrogen atom with lower alkane hydroxyls, for example hydroxymethyl or hydroxyethyl groups.
- Suitable organic bases from this group are, for example, aminopropanediols, triethanolamines, tris (hydroxymethyl) methylamines, bis (hydroxymethyl) methylamines, tris (hydroxyethyl) methylamines, bis (hydroxyethyl) methylamines or the correspondingly substituted ethylamines.
- Neutral or in the pH range between 4 and 9 zwitterionic Due to their chemical nature, these are neutral groups such as hydroxyls, amides, thiols or zwitterions from a strong cationic and a strong anionic group such as for example the phosphocholine or amino carboxylic acids, aminosulfonic acids, betaines or other structures.
- anionic groups are dissociable hydroxyls or thiols, as they occur in ascorbic acid, the N-substituted alloxan, the N-substituted barbituric acid, in the veronal, the phenol or as a thiol group.
- Strongly cationic, pKa ⁇ 4, negative net charge their chemical nature means that they are functional groups such as sulfonic acid esters or phosphoric acid esters.
- Strongly cationic compounds are, for example: DC-chol 3- ⁇ - [N- (N “, N” -dimethylethane) carbamoyl] cholesterol TC-Chol 3-ß- [N- (N ' ', ⁇ ", N” -trimethylaminoethane) carbamoyl] cholesterol
- DOTMA 1-dioleyloxypropyl
- N, N-trimethylammonium chloride Lipofectin®
- DOSC (1,2-dioleoyl-3-succinyl-sn-glycerol choline ester
- DOGSDSO (1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-succinyl-2-hydroxyethyl disulfide ornithine),
- DOEPC 1 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-ethylphosphocholine or other O-alkylphosphatidylcholine or ethanolamine,
- Examples of neutral compounds are: cholesterol, ceramides, phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylethanolamines, tetraether lipids or diacylglycerols.
- Examples of weakly anionic compounds are: CHEMS cholesterol hemisuccinate, alkyl carboxylic acids with 8 to 25 carbon atoms or diacylglycerol hemisuccinate.
- Other weakly anionic compounds are the amides from aspartic acid or glutamic acid and PE, and the PS and its amides with glycine, alanine, glutamine, asparagine, serine, cysteine, threonine, tyrosine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid or other amino acids or aminodicarboxylic acids.
- the esters from hydroxycarboxylic acids or hydroxydicarboxylic acids and PS are weakly anionic compounds.
- Strongly anionic compounds are, for example: SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate, cholesterol sulfate, cholesterol phosphate, cholesterylphosphocholine, phosphatidylglycerols, phosphate id acids, phosphytidylinositols,
- Diacylglycerol phosphates Diacylglycerol phosphates, diacylglycerol sulfates, cetyl phosphate or lysophospholipids.
- Amphoteric compounds are e.g. : Hist-Chol N ⁇ -histidinyl cholesterol hemisuccinate,
- Hist-PS N ⁇ -histidinyl-phosphatidylserine or N-alkylcarnosine.
- the liposomes according to the invention contain variable proportions of such membrane-forming or membrane-bound amphiphiles that they acquire an amphoteric character. This means that the liposomes can completely change their charge sign.
- the amount of liposome charge carriers present at a given pH of the medium can be calculated using the following formula:
- the net charge of the liposome is 0.
- the structures can be constructed in such a way that, as the pH value falls, the entire molecule is actually reloaded from negative to positive.
- a transfer is particularly advantageous if the liposomes produced with the structures are to be used in physiological contexts. Only liposomes with a negative total charge are compatible with blood and serum components. A positive charge leads to aggregations. Liposomes with a positive charge are very well fusogenic and can transport active substances in cells. A pH-dependent transhipment therefore allows the construction of serum-compatible, because negatively charged compounds that recharge after endocytotic uptake and are therefore only fusogenic in the cell.
- amphoteric liposomes have an isoelectric point between 5 and 7.
- the invention also relates to amphoteric liposomes which comprise at least one amphoteric charge carrier, the amphoteric charge carrier having an isoelectric point between 4 and 8.
- the amphoteric charge carrier of the liposomes has an isoelectric point between 5 and 7.
- the invention also relates to amphoteric liposomes, the liposomes comprising at least one amphoteric charge carrier and one anionic and / or cationic charge carrier.
- amphoteric liposomes have an isoelectric point between 5 and 7.
- Embodiment variants of the invention include the liposomes according to the invention, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, diacylglycerol, cholesterol, tetraether lipid, ceramide, sphingolipid and / or diacylglycerol.
- the production of the liposomes can of course be carried out with many lipid combinations according to the teaching of the invention.
- liposomes can be produced using a high amount of CHEMS (approx. 40%) and a smaller amount of DOTAP (approx. 30%).
- Charge carriers ii) the steepness of the charge-reversal curve due to the ratio of the two charge carriers, their absolute amounts and possibly a synergistic effect of two complementary pH-sensitive lipids, and iii) the zero crossing of the zeta potential by the ratio of the two charge carriers as well as by the Location of the pK value or pK values.
- the liposomes have an average size between 50 and 1000 nm, preferably between 70 and 250 nm, particularly preferably between 60 and 130 nm.
- the amphoteric liposomes are produced by the methods known in the prior art, for example by ethanol injection of a lipid solution into aqueous buffers, by hydration of dry lipid films or by detergent dialysis.
- the size of the liposomes can generally vary between 50 nm and 10000 nm. Homogeneous populations can be produced by high pressure homogenization or extrusion.
- the liposomes comprise an active ingredient.
- the active substance is expediently a protein, a peptide, a DNA, an RNA, an antisense nucleotide and / or a decoy nucleotide.
- At least 80% of the active ingredient is inside the liposome.
- the invention also relates to a method for loading the active substance into the liposomes, a defined pH value being used for encapsulation and a second pH value being set for separating the unbound material.
- the invention also relates to a method for loading the active substance into the liposomes, the liposomes being permeabilized and sealed at a defined pH.
- the invention also relates to the use of the liopsomes for the production of nanocapsules by depositing polymers or polyelectrolytes on the lipid layer. Single or multiple deposition of such substances can take place on the surface. A multiple deposition, which may be carried out in the presence of a crosslinking agent, results in liposomal nano-capsules, as described in WO 00/28972 or in WO / 64330.
- An advantage of using the substances described here is the fact that the electrostatic interaction with the polyelectrolyte can be interrupted. It is known that the interaction of a polyelectrolyte with charge carriers of the liposomal membrane for the segregation of membrane components and for the formation of Lipid clusters can result.
- this segregation is accompanied by permeabilization of the liposome.
- the substances according to the invention enable this interaction to be switched off after the coating process. If the pH is increased at this point in time, the liposomes are only sterically enclosed in the nanocapsules, and the membrane no longer interacts with the polyelectrolytes. Clustering of the lipids and the associated permeabilization of the membrane can thus be avoided.
- the invention also relates to the use of the liposomes according to the invention for packaging and releasing active substances.
- the liposomes serve in particular for the efficient packaging of active substances; for example nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are incubated with the lipids mentioned, in particular at a low pH (approx. 3 to 6). After formation of the liposomes, nucleic acids adhering to the outside can be washed off by changing to a high pH value (approx. 7 ... 9).
- An analogous procedure can be chosen for the packaging of proteins. It is advantageous to set a pH in the medium which is between the p1 of the liposome and that of the protein. It proves to be particularly advantageous if the two pI values are more than one unit apart.
- the liposomes are used for the production of release systems in diagnostics.
- the liposomes are used as a transfection system, that is to say for introducing active substances into cells.
- the liposomes are used for the controlled release of their content by fusion or permeabilization of the membrane.
- Liposomes made from a non-membrane-forming lipid, such as PE can be stabilized by incorporating charge carriers. If the charge carrier is transferred to a neutral, uncharged or zwitterionic state, this increases. the permeability of the membrane.
- Known liposomes according to the prior art PE / CHEMS, Tachibana et al.
- Amphoteric liposomes can be prepared according to the measures outlined above so that their neutral point is between 4 and 9 at any desired pH. Under these conditions, the liposomes are permeable and can release a cargo into the medium.
- the liposomal formulations can be prepared, processed and stored under conditions of low permeability.
- liposomes are produced in such a way that they release their cargo under conditions of a physiological pH, but securely enclose their cargo at a low pH.
- Such liposomes are particularly suitable for the production of formulations with slow release kinetics, the release only through the Contact with body fluids is initiated, but not during storage or transport.
- a preferred embodiment of the teaching according to the invention therefore consists in the use of such liposomes for therapeutic purposes, in particular for those applications which use specific targeting of the liposomes.
- the low non-specific binding is a prerequisite for transporting the liposomes to the target site.
- a high non-specific binding would prevent the transport of the liposomes to their destination.
- Specific binding can be achieved by further measures according to the prior art, that is to say by size selection of the liposomes or also the binding of ligands to the liposomal surface which binds to a target receptor of the cell surface.
- Ligands can, for example, antibodies or their fragments, sugar substances, hormones, vitamins, peptides such as. the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD), growth factors, bilirubin, or other components.
- a preferred embodiment of the teaching according to the invention relates to the use of the liposomes for therapeutic or diagnostic applications under in vivo conditions.
- Those liposomes are preferred which show a low non-specific binding and thus a tendency to fuse under physiological conditions, but which have a strong binding and high fusion competence under modified conditions.
- Such liposomes are amphoteric liposomes that have an overall anionic charge of the particle under physiological conditions, but show an increasing cationic charge at a pH ⁇ 6.5.
- Such pH values occur in the endocytosis of the liposomes in cells.
- Such pH values also occur inside tumors. This pH Values can also be found in the outer layers of the skin.
- Low pH values can also be set ex vivo when an organ is perfused for a certain period of time.
- a high level of binding strength and fusion competence is therefore limited to those liposomes that have already been absorbed by cells or special tissues. Binding strength and increasing fusion competence support the fusion of the liposomal membrane with the cell membrane. This event leads to a direct release of the cargo into the interior of the cell without releasing lytic components of the endosome and thus endangering the cargo or cell components.
- the liposomes are used as a depot formulation and / or as a circulating depot.
- the liposomes can also advantageously be used with intravenous or peritoneal application.
- the liposomes are used as vectors for the transfection of cells in vivo, in vitro and ex vivo.
- the liposomes according to the invention have several advantages. Cationically chargeable liposomes made of 40% HisChol and PC bind nucleic acids such as e.g. under conditions of neutral pH. DNA on their membrane. Surprisingly, this binding is completely suppressed if the above-mentioned liposomes are produced using 5% PG and then have amphoteric properties. The binding of nucleic acids to the membrane can, however, be restored by reducing the pH. Liposomes according to the teaching according to the invention are therefore very well suited for pH-dependent binding of nucleic acids.
- liposomes according to the present invention in contrast to the known constitutive cationic liposomes, are serum compatible. The teaching according to the invention is therefore expediently carried out when such liposomes are used for therapeutic purposes.
- the liposomes have a much lower non-specific binding to cells than is the case with known constitutive cationic liposomes. It is also surprising that the fusion competence of the liposomes according to the invention depends on the pH of the medium. The fusion competence against biological membranes of cells is determined by the choice of the lipid, but also by the charge of the liposomes. The actual fusion is usually preceded by a binding step. However, strong binding of the liposomes to cell membranes is not always desirable, but, as described above, should only take place under controlled conditions in certain cells or tissues.
- the liposomes can therefore be used to construct liposomal vectors for the transport of active substances in cells. All substances that are not micelle-forming can be used as active substances. Water-soluble substances are particularly suitable active substances. These are many proteins and peptides, especially antibodies or enzymes or antigens, all nucleic acids, regardless of their molecular weight and their lineage from RNA or DNA. But these are also other biological macromolecules such as complex sugars, natural products and other compounds. These are also low molecular weight active ingredients of synthetic or natural origin, which otherwise cannot penetrate the cell membrane as a barrier. Such substances can then be transported into the interior of cells using the vectors and trigger effects which would not be possible without this transport.
- liposomes can thus be produced whose fusion and binding properties differ at different pH values. It is therefore possible to produce serum-compatible liposomes in this way, which are loaded with a large amount of active substances and transport them into the interior of cells. It is possible for a person skilled in the art to combine elements of the teaching according to the invention with one another and thus to produce liposomes which are optimally suitable for a specific purpose.

- Liposomes of the composition used show a pl of 5, the lysozyme is a basic protein with a pl of 11.35. In the pH range between 6 and 8, both partners are therefore charged in opposite directions. The electrostatic attraction causes an efficient inclusion in the liposomes. Unencapsulated protein was pH 4 away. At this pH, the interaction between the partners is eliminated.
- HeLa cells or CHO cells (3 * 10 ⁇ 5) were plated into each well of a 6-well titer plate and cultured for three days.

The radioactivity of the membrane fraction and the soluble cargo was measured by scintillation and gave the following values:
- the liposomes according to the invention meet the basic requirements for a vector system. They are not acutely toxic and are not immediately absorbed by the reticuloendothelial system. The ratio of the 3 [H] and 14 [C] radioactivity of the blood samples was constant until the end of the experiment. There is therefore no release of the cargo by complement lysis.
